Have you ever had ideas or brainwaves that just hit you in weird times? Well this is where this layout came from a 3 am brainwave and then the desire to do it straight away and I even had time to set up the sewing machine.

This is based on the Sassy Scrapper's March monthly sketch...... Have you done yours yet? why don't you give it a go this Sunday and just make the deadline with the chance to win a $20 voucher. I have flipped the sketch and then shrunk it down to suit my instagram pictures. I love this Amy Tangerine pattern paper as a background its a real girly version of chevron and who doesn't like pink?

Its Friday that must mean another reveal for Inspired Blueprints, I must say I was very inspired by the tags in this sketch. It seems to be my thing that I like to change the sketch a little bit but that is what is great with the site its all up to you and your interpretation....

I was given Crate Paper's Maggie Holmes paper for Made with Memories Dt this month and i really wanted to push the envelope with its application..... as it is made mostly for girls. As soon as I saw that paper I knew that my Bokeh light photo would be perfect.

Wow, do I have alot of blogging to catch up on and I don't know where to start so please stay with me in this process, thank goodness its the Easter long weekend coming up allowing lots of time for family, photos, chocolate, and catching up on things like this blog..... ohhhhh and not to mention my darling sons 8th Birthday also on the same day as our Easter egg hunt.

So in order to catch up (I have been doing the work eg the fun stuff, but not the blogging)..... so I have one sketch to share with you today. Inspired Blueprints Sketch #87

So here's my interpretation I really wanted to focus on that background panel and I had a new template that I was waiting to try out, nothing like a bit of water colour fun!!!

So I am today going to show you something that I was so excited to discover when playing with Amy Tangerine's Yes Please Bundle Kraft Paper, I did this layout based on Inspired Blueprints Sketch #86.

I love Kraft papers and I discovered these Amy Tangerine ones a couple of month ago and though "ohhhh no, I missed all of these'', so I was delighted that they were new ones in the Yes Please range. Looking at the paper I knew I wanted to colour it in some way whether is was just a little splash or with water colour, but I didn't want to wait for the paper to dry so that reminded me that I am the proud owner of Copic markers....

Sundays for me means not a sleep in however a nice leisurely coffee followed by a big breakfast with our family unit then because it has been too hot for far too long, a swim then usually a bit of scrapping or planning some layouts and a bit of catch up before the week starts again....

On these Sunday scrapping days I usually try to figure out how to push the creative envelope, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and there are times I call in reinforcements usually my family to ask "did that work?'' half the time it is meet with a response of from my oldest ''thats great Mum how many layouts have you done?'' and my second oldest of " that's great I love it" and then hubby pretending to pay some sort of interest......

So my creative push for you today is using Amy Tangerine for a boys layout created for Sassy Scrapper's.....

I just recently attending my first Cyber Crop over at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia " Date Night " and with my first cyber crop I didn't know what I was in for, and I must say I have been introduced to some talented ladies and the challenges have been alot of fun not to mention the chance to win some great prizes from the sponsors. Sometime you need some inspiration and this was the prompt for a great combo of companies..... Made with Memories.... meets Sawyers Place and Top 50 challenge....

So this challenge we had a grid and we had to pick 2 criteria from the 9 below and include the 2 on your layout. BUT you must make sure the criteria come from the same horizontal or vertical line....
So I picked washi ( are you surprised?) and misting. I am sure at this point you where wondering where the Made with Memories part comes into it well as a little challenge I was given Kaisercraft Class act and asked to use it in a way that wasn't class related......

I have been working on educating myself when it comes to my camera and have been doing it for the last 2 years since purchasing my little Rebel Canon 500D.... I did a tafe course 2 years ago that lasted for 20 weeks where we learnt to take it off the auto mode and control the other modes on our cameras. I was lucky to know at the time that my favourite mode was AV = Aperture Propriety mode because I loved the blurred backgrounds on my portraits. However I have found my new love in the Modes and a new style of photography............ BULB!!!

Bulb is about controlling all your aspects of your camera with a tripod and a trigger. And a cool thing that happens under the moonlight like the photo in this layout, did you know if you shoot under moon light with the tripod and trigger you can make things look like daylight? no? well now you know, and you can see in the layout below the magic of your camera.﻿

ohhhhhhhhhhhh its been one of those weeks !!! Busy, busy, busy and I feel that I am always chasing my tail!!!

What about you? That being said I have feel productive but I also feel that I have been

procrastinating well, I know I have been creating and its properly the posting the blog post that I have been
procrastinating.... this is something that I will endeavour to work on.

Do you feel that sometimes that your spinning your wheels?

The one thing I know I don't spin my wheels on is the Inspired Blueprints reveals, as some of the hard work has been taken out of the situation, you have the layout you just have to figure out your product and your photos. So today is the new reveal and I love introducing sketch #85 and I cant wait to see what others will do with it....
